Morgan prefers playing Test cricket over IPL – Cricket News Roundup – Part 2 – August 28, 2012
England batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032, has insisted that he will duly shun the riches of the Indian Premier League in order to get back in the Test team.
The club vs country saga has been magnified in recent times following Kevin Pietersen’s public declaration of playing a full IPL season. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morgan-c77707, who has been out of the Test side after a disappointing run against Pakistan earlier in the year, says that he
will always prefer playing for the national side.
"The bigger picture for me is playing Test cricket," he said. "As a 15-year-old I came across to England to play Test cricket. It's always been my priority. I've had a little sniff of it and I've absolutely loved it.”
Australian veteran batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942, says that he is open to the idea of playing as an opener in order to help the team cope with the extreme heat in UAE.
"I'm open to it, it doesn't bother me," Hussey said in Sharjah. "Whatever the team really needs I'd be more than happy to try to help out, as long as I'm somewhere in that batting order, I'm happy to bat anywhere from Nos. 1 to 11.
Concerns grew over the taxing role of wicket-keeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Afghanistan-c745. The left-hander opened the innings and scored a hard-fought 75 before taking three catches.
The Aussie acting coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 begins today at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Pakistani T20 skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LL-Tsotsobe-c1842, who moved down one position to second.
The Proteas left-armer lost his place following the abandonment of the first ODI against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, where he bowled just 2.3 overs.
He however, could retain his place if he manages to outperform Hafeez in the coming days. Apart from the Proteas taking on Poms, the Men in Green are all set to lock horns with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in a three-match ODI series, starting today.
